Douglas Premier Net Post

The 30:1 ratio is designed for mechanical advantage, making it significantly easier to crank the net to the correct tension without straining. It also provides a self-locking mechanism, which ensures the net stays tight and secure once you have finished adjusting it.

No, the handle is flush-mounted and removable. This design keeps the post looking clean and prevents unauthorized tampering or accidental snagging during play.

The post is built from 8-gauge steel and finished with a baked-on polyester powder coat, which provides a robust barrier against rust and corrosion. Additionally, the internal gears are made from stainless steel to ensure the tensioning mechanism remains reliable over time.

The post includes the essential hardware, such as welded lacing rods and die-cast zinc caps. However, you will need to ensure you have the appropriate ground sleeve or mounting hardware for your specific court surface, as those are typically sold separately.

The Douglas Premier XS has an outer diameter of 2-7/8 inches. It is designed to fit most standard tennis court ground sleeves of that size, but it is always best to double-check the inner diameter of your existing sleeves before purchasing.
